    Source for sand/beadblasting media?

    Agri-Supply and Northern Tool also sell blasting media... Agri has it in the maxi bags (2000lb bags...). Maddawg, since your signature doesn't say exactly where you are, I can't be more precise, but I can tell you that Luck Stone (as well as Vulcan Materials and Martin Marietta) also sell...

    NHC250 starter lock-out switch

    RE: Re: RE: NHC250 starter lock-out switch Yup, kills the starter circuit as soon as oil pressure builds and keeps it killed as long as it sees oil pressure...

    250 Cummins Manual

    Point very well made.... If you don't have the manual set for the M809 series trucks, I stongly suggest that you pick up a set. I found that CHQ Software (don't have the URL handly, Google them...) has a CD with a complete set on it in PDF form with a nice disc index for under $25. Get it...

    NHC250 starter lock-out switch

    RE: Re: RE: NHC250 starter lock-out switch WillWagner and Mike are absolutely correct... (Can you tell what part of my M817 I've been working on today... :) )

    250 Cummins Manual

    RE: TM Depends on what you are looking for in a NHC250 manual... The Org Maint Manual for M809 series trucks has a detailed section on the dissasembly and rebuild of the engine in to component parts, also a section on the teardown, reasembly, and calibration of the injectors and PT pump. I...

    tandem axle tralier

    Not the trailer that you are talking about, but two of these just sold at auction near me for less than $300 each (bid price). I didn't bid on either one since I need another trailer like a hole in the head, but I thought that it would make a nice flatbed or stakeside if one wanted to do a...

    M817 at home

    Just getting back to this thread... Dump bed doesn't want to raise up right now. I think it's because I can't get the control lever to move down into the "raise" positon. I can get it to go into "down", but not into "hold" or "raise". I'm planning on pulling the dump control box apart...

    Where can i find one of these

    The converter dolly in the photo was fabricated by the gentleman who is unhitching the flatbed from his Mog... Several folks on this site have fabricated dolly's, some using M105 trailer chasis (like this one), some using heavier generator trailer chasis... They show up now and again at GL...

    Replacing your multifuel engine with something else?

    As a friend said to me a while back, you know that they are good engines when folks have derogatory pet names for them, PowerJoke and Cummapart... Anybody know the pet name for the GM engines (6.x or the Isuzu??) Worse thang is to have a Cummapart in a Freightshaker... I've got Cummins power...

    XM708

    Thanks for the photos... The bedsides also are different so somebody who knows could tell that the bed is not a M37, but you are right about that tire clearance beeing a big giveaway... :) Great seeing it with the canvas on the bed as well as getting a view of the flaps. Not much to see...

    Replacing your multifuel engine with something else?

    Have you considered chaning out the stock sealed bulbs for Hella E-Code H4 assemblies? It's amazing how much better they are (better reflector, nicer lens, and a variety of wattages available). I run 70/75watt heavy duty burners in mine and toss light about four times as far down the road in...

    New jacket for the Ole M37

    RE: taillights? Ahh.... Looks good. The mud flaps help me visualize what my XM708 will look like since the little dump is supposed to have them and mine are missing... I like seeing a truck that isn't just another USArmy rig... :)

    Rebuilt Engine still in 'barrel'

    I have a military rebuilt engine in the can in the back yard.... I'll have to post a few photos of what the engine looked like when the can was opened. Does the phrase "boat anchor" strike a bell?? Fozen solid, and in such shape that I just picked things like the clutch, oil pump, water...

    500 Miles in a Deuce

    Boy that rig (and the load) look great... I'm envious... :)

    Bob the Dumpin' Deuce lives

    It'll fit in just as well as my M37 did at a M715Zone gathering last year... :) Power Wagon/MV, they will all be welcome at the spring gathering (wherever I end up having it..). Looks like a great asset, especially when it comes time for the firewood delivery... :)

    S.S. Ga Ralley?

    Joe, the show that I've been plugging is in September in Hickory, NC. Location is about forty miles East of AMGeneral's place, but it's still west of Statesville. I've also committed myself to hosting the 2008 Southern Power Wagon rally (and I'll be inviting all my MV buddies to join us and...

    4-Wheeler tires on a mule

    Use a tube regardless.

    some mules at Little Rock

    Not really IMHO. A Mule can be hauled around on a little utility trailer from Lowes/Northern, etc behind the familly car/truck/SUV. Anyone can drive them. They are easy to work on, don't take a lot of storage space, etc. If you insist on insuring them, they go on your homeowner's policy...

    Mermite can question

    The inserts also fit into a slick holder that will sit either on a table by itself or will nest inside the deep rectangular pan that is part of the field range setup. That way, food can be served out of the insert and/or reheated. There is also a shorter version of the insert that is half as...

    Mermite can question

    A better size for towing behind a small vehicle (and perhaps better fitted to the size of the fryer at the resturant) might be to put a tank (or a 55 gallon drum or two) onto the flatbed trailer that is the same basic chasis as the M416. I forget the number for the little flatbed, but I do...
